Marc Lou says 758 startups show revenue slightly declining over four months
Marc Lou says he analyzed 758 startups above $1,000 MRR and found revenue slightly declining over the last four months, a compounded pace he puts at about 11% a year. Median growth was 0% for the 255 B2B businesses against −6.2% for the 257 B2C ones.
